Our Vasectomy Reversal Patients from the United Kingdom and throughout Europe
This page, by international vas reversal authority, author and microsurgeon Dr. Sheldon Marks, outlines some of the many reasons why ICVR is the destination of choice for so many couples from the UK and throughout Europe that want the highest chances to achieve their dream of having children after vasectomy.
Our vasectomy reversal patients do their research and travel to ICVR from throughout the United Kingdom and Europe to include Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Albania, Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Portugal, Ukraine, Latvia, Russia and Lithuania.
Many of our more than 7000 patients from the UK and throughout Europe choose ICVR because of our proven and published high success rate, up to a world class 99.5% at our full-time, vas reversal only Center of Excellence (1).
Patients from more than 85 countries around the world and every state in the US understand that Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows are true international experts, providing the very highest vasectomy reversal success rate. And with world-record success at 42 years from vasectomy (now with a 19-year-old daughter in the Philippines who just had a baby of her own), the number of years from vasectomy is not a major issue (2).
Considering what’s at stake, why should anyone settle for anything less than the highest chances for success?
Here at ICVR, Dr. Marks and Dr. Burrows each choose to limit their practice to only one vas reversal each day. This way, every patient knows that as the sole vasectomy reversal patient that day, each patient will get the surgeon’s full attention to detail. We are not feeling pressure to rush to another vas reversal, nor are we fatigued from earlier surgeries.
There are many other reasons to choose ICVR to include:
– Sperm banking at no additional cost
– We do not allow doctors-in-training to participate in the surgery or aftercare
– Pain-free mild sedation so our patients sleep comfortably without the rare but serious risks of deeper general anesthesia (3)
– Dr. Marks is one of a handful of experts that actually teaches other vas reversal doctors from around the world advanced surgical techniques, writes courses and even the textbook (4) for doctors on how to perform vas reversals and invented an instrument used around the world, the “Marks Vas Cutting Forceps.”
Contact us to learn how prospective patients can have the very highest chances for success with an old world, personalized vasectomy reversal experience.
Because we are a top international referral center, we see men from the UK and throughout Europe for a redo vasectomy reversal, because the first vas reversal done by a local doctor was unsuccessful (5).
Contact us at (888) 722-2929 to arrange a no-charge phone, Zoom, Face Time, or Skype consultation with one of our two microsurgeons. Get answers to all questions, and discover couples can learn how we are “Making Men Dads AgainTM.”
